This book is super cute and I just couldn't put it down.

At the news station where weathergirl Naomi Light works, she receives a piece of "fan mail" which is slightly on the mean side. Assistant and best friend Anne is shocked but Naomi knows exactly who this is from; her pen pal Luca Pichler who she hasn't heard from in two years.

Naomi and Luca had begun writing letters to each other for a school project back in fifth grade but whilst their classmates letters declined as time went on, Naomi and Luca continued to write their mean letters to each other.

Naomi meets handsome new neighbour Jake at her apartment block and she agrees to go on a date with him but she is distracted by the fact that Luca is now back in touch with her. She is determined to track him down.

This was super entertaining and although the miscommunication trope is usually one that I hate, I really enjoyed this! It has dual POV and Luca is just a fantastic character. I loved his personal growth. Such a cute read!
